mad al 146 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Should WE bail them out? An interesting point raised on the radio just now, get yourself arrested and the book thrown at you for "wreckless driving" and quite right to now get to be some toffee nosed "wreckless banker" and walk away as free as the day is long http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7836782.stm your thoughts folks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I think that there should be conditions attached to any of these bail outs, like the sacking of the idiots that run the banks. They got greedy while the going good, and lent too much money to high risk customers. As soon as the good times end, and the customers can't afford repayments, the banks are in the shit. They've also used other peoples money on risky investments in America & other places to make themselves more money. Like I say, heads should fecking roll... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mad al 146 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I myself think that they should be treated just like anybody else, say you don't get your tax returns in or they find a discrepancy in your accounts, they don't hold back then do they and really get the point across that it is your responsibility to get it right. Are banks held responsible? You must be joking take Lloyds TSB for example http://www.welt.de/english-news/article300...tions-case.html Is this OK? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
